Anybody else have halloween ADD?

I sure do. I cannot get even halfway through a project without getting sidetracked and starting something else! I'm surrounded by unfinished projects!

I started my cemetery fence, then remembered the two bluckies I bought after Halloween last year so I got them out to fit them with pvc and got as far as putting them together and leaning them against the wall, worked some more on my haunted dollhouse, got sidetracked by all the new spooky town stuff coming out so I started planning the new display platforms I'm going to make, bought two new spooky town pieces, realized I'd outgrown my storage closet so I cleaned out another closet and moved it all there, and I still have nothing completed!

It must be contagious because I feel the same way. If you check out my albums, you will see that I haven't finished up a single project, but I continue to start on more!

Actually, Mme. L., that's a good way to approach prop building. Do a little on a variety of props at various times depending on whatever strikes your fancy. A few years back when we were still accumulating props, my daughter and I had two Gargoyles, an Egyptian Sarcophogus, a pair on entry Columns and a Bottomless Pit all on the go at the same time. I'd ask her, "What should we work on today?" And she'd say, "How about the skulls for the Columns?" or whatever. And that would be what we would focus on that particular afternoon. We always get stuff completed well before the big day, that's the main thing.

I did that last year, but I was on track to get none of them done. I think at one point I had 7 or 8 things going. My sister suggested working on one until it was complete before starting another. I tried it and I knocked out the props way faster. I got all but one of them done. Had I not done it that way I am guessing I wouldn't have finished any of them.

I'm kind of like you but now I've learned to somewhat use that to my advantage. If one prop is drying or glue is curing, I work on the other prop. But, it does bug me at times walking into the workshop and there are unfinished projects just staring at me. UGH!

Hey, I'm gemini, it's in our nature to start 20 different things at once.

I never used to...and then I joined Halloween Forum.

..Hmmmm.

Oh yeah....
I'll finish my projects eventually, but never before I've started another one. I did decide on all of my projects for the year some time ago, and I won't be adding any others unless those are completed.
